How to grow your payments app with falconry and bird of prey displays
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Falconry centres and bird of prey teams sell hawk walks, owl encounters and full experience days, fly birds at country shows and fairs, visit schools, and bring owls to weddings. Experiences are usually paid in advance, often as gift vouchers, while shows and weddings are booked with a deposit and the balance before the day. A payments app that takes bookings, sells vouchers and sends deposit links can win falconers, and every visitor and event organiser who pays them sees your app.
Talk to falconers
Ask local falconry centres and display teams:
- How do people book and pay for hawk walks and experience days?
- How do you sell gift vouchers, and how are they redeemed?
- How do shows, schools and couples pay a deposit to book you?
- How do visitors pay for entry and extras on the day?
Take experience bookings with payment
A booking link that takes payment up front fills experience days, cuts no-shows and lets people buy gift vouchers for birthdays and holidays.
Send deposit links for shows and weddings
Show organisers, schools and couples can pay a deposit and the balance from a link, so the date is secured without waiting on bank transfers.
Grow through days out and events
Falconers work alongside farm parks, show organisers and party entertainers. When those businesses take payments through your app, each falconer can bring more of them onto it.
